New Generic Freight Car Pack From TrainSimulations

[pschlik]

They can't keep getting away with it! There's now a generic freight car pack on the TS website for those who want a bit more variety in the freeware landscape. Figure this will especially interest those just beginning on the starter route.


All of these are using the lastest standards (high detail bogies, well above 25k polys at the closest LOD) and they are all new road numbers (yes, no recycling from Shasta or Mullan here) except that well car, DTTX 54913 was included in the old SLI Horseshoe curve pack, but that was obviously a lower poly model with lower res textures.

I'm hoping this car pack starts to encourage others to start repainting and releasing more skins for these models instead of using various older ones. It'll probably be easy to convert older car skins over to these new models too.

I've been collecting many photos for that reason.. just been busy working on my route instead.

However, I've had several people complain and say that they'd just rather buy straight from TS, instead of installing my large freight packs that require TS files. (Well car pack as an example)

Oh well, can't make everyone happy.

Don't listen to them, they are wrong lol

Shawn, I use your reskins all the time. They fit more with my interests being in the post-2010 era (which TS hasn't done much of outside of mullan and bnsf seligman).

Thanks for the heads up !

Hardly. Your freight packs are great. I've got them all, I'm sure!

Gentlemen,
For the record, I didn't say the complaints were going to stop me. Otherwise I would have left the hobby back in 2004.

I'm just debating on having them as larger packs with 50-60 various cars like I've done, or smaller packs, with maybe 5-10 cars at a time, specific to car type.
As of right now, I have well over 200 photos to keep me busy for a life time of F plate boxcars, clay/limestone slurry tanks, asphalt tanks, acid tanks, covered hoppers for animal feed or fertilizer products, many more centerbeams with various JD Irving lumber, LP lumber loads, and of course, many more containers.
